Which of the following aqueous solutions will exhibit the highest boiling point?
Show Hint
- 0.01M KNO₃
- 0.01M H₂SO₄
- 0.01M C₆H₁₂O₆
- 0.01M Urea
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
- KNO₃ dissociates into 2 ions (K\(^+\) and NO₃\(^-\)), so \( i = 2 \).
- H₂SO₄ dissociates into 3 ions (H\(^+\), HSO₄\(^-\), and SO₄²⁻), so \( i = 3 \).
- C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) does not dissociate, so \( i = 1 \).
- Urea also does not dissociate into ions, so \( i = 1 \).
Since the boiling point elevation is proportional to \( i \), the solution with the highest van 't Hoff factor will have the highest boiling point.
Therefore, H₂SO₄ (which dissociates into 3 ions) will exhibit the highest boiling point.
Thus, the correct answer is (2) 0.01M H₂SO₄.
Top Questions on Colligative Properties
The cause for deviation from Raoult’s law in the colligative properties of non-ideal solutions lies in the nature of interactions at the molecular level. These properties show deviations from Raoult’s law due to difference in interactions between solute–solvent, solute–solute and solvent–solvent. Some liquids on mixing form azeotropes which are binary mixtures having the same composition in liquid and vapour phase and boil at a constant temperature. In such cases, it is not possible to separate the components by fractional distillation. There are two types of azeotropes called minimum boiling azeotrope and maximum boiling azeotrope. (a) Pure ethanol cannot be prepared by fractional distillation of ethanol–water mixture. Comment.
